Abstract: An analytics portal, having a machine learning model, is deployed at an edge device in a virtualized computing environment. The machine learning model may be trained internally in the virtualized computing environment or via trained models received via an external network such as a cloud. The analytics portal is in an active mode, while another analytics portal at another host or edge device in the virtualized computing environment is in a passive mode. An election process may be used to change an analytics portal from the active mode to the passive mode. A failover process is also available to transition the passive analytics portal to the active mode, in response to a failure of the current active analytics portal.

Abstract: For a distributed storage system that has an active-active configuration for hosts and which uses an Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) protocol, techniques are provided to identify/select a plurality of paths to a target. An active optimized path is selected for a host that is an object owner, and an active non-optimized path is selected for a host that is a component owner. The selection of the optimized path for a host is further based on whether that host has sufficient processor and memory resources to service input/output for the target. A standby path is selected for any other host that is neither an object owner or a component owner. The selected paths are provided to an initiator so as to enable the initiator to choose at least one of the paths to access the target for the input/output.

Abstract: One example method for a host in a virtual storage area network (vSAN) cluster to support vSAN Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) target services in a distributed storage system of a virtualization system is disclosed. The method includes obtaining ownership information of a target and determining, from the ownership information, whether the host is an owner of the target. In response to determining that the host is the owner of the target, the method further includes determining whether the host commits to a policy provided by the vSAN to support the vSAN iSCSI target services. In response to determining that the host fails to commit to the policy, the method includes reporting a warning message.

Abstract: Intelligent capacity planning is provided for storage in a hyperconverged infrastructure environment. The storage may be a logical storage unit that is supported by storage space of a plurality of hardware disks in a virtualized computing environment. Failure predictions can be obtained for each individual hardware disk, and a failure prediction for a number of hardware disk in a hardware disk set can also be obtained. A failure prediction and/or a reduced availability prediction for the logical storage unit can be generated based at least on a configuration state of the logical storage unit, a prediction for one or more hardware disks of the logical storage unit, and a prediction time. Predictions based on what-if operations are also able to be generated.

Abstract: Capacity forecasting may be performed for distributed storage resources in a virtualized computing environment. Historical data indicative of usage of the storage resources is transformed into a privacy-preserving format and is preprocessed to remove outliers, to fill in missing values, and to perform normalization. The preprocessed historical data is inputted into a machine-learning model, which applies a piecewise regression to the historical data to generate a prediction output.
